Parmese Moderati

The Moderati was a conservative faction in the Duchy of Parma that existed in the mid-nineteenth century. The Moderati supported reasonable limits on the power of the absolute monarchy, and they therefore advocated for a slightly lesser degree of monarchial control over the economy and slightly more citizenship rights. The party was popular in the country, and either the Moderati or the Restaurazionisti were in control of the government. The party dissolved after Italy annexed Parma in 1859.
